Dumb Question !

Hi

Firstly, welcome to Amiga.org

With your Amiga being a 600 it has the PCMCIA slot on the left hand side so you will be better off buying a compact flash adaptor and a compact flash card. You can then copy all the ADFs you have onto the CF memory card and then write them to floppy on your A600 via the CF adaptor. Please find linked below the CF adaptor:

AmigaKit are a well known and reputable company within the community.

A standard CF memory card will do, I personally use a 2GB Dane Elec card, which is more than big enough for Amiga files.

Best of luck

@ Taj, He will also need to software so be can transfer ADF disk images to the floppy itself. I forget the name of the app.

The AmigaKit link is to the whole kit, all software is included Just need the CF card

[Tajmaster]

Ah sorry I didn't know it was included on the software disk. In that case I would opt for Taj's idea.

No probs I found it the best solution as I didnt want the hassle of finding all the software and setting it up etc etc. And its not too expensive.
 
This is the memory card I have on mine:

WOW, Thanks for the replys, I was thinking that maybe i was the only person that was still a fan of the Amiga ! - I have a 2GB CF card laying here not doing anything so to begin with I am going to order the PCMCIA adaptor kit as that looks like a quick and simple way to get back into the world of Amiga. ANOTHER silly question, I have a box with about 600 DS/HD blank discs, will these work in the amiga or do they have to be DS/DD discs ? - I really forgot how good the Amiga was, I have had a blast today playing Magic Pockets (the only game I have as it was left in the floppy drive when it went into the loft MANY years ago)
 
Thanks again for your help, really looking forward to learning more about this amazing machine !

LMAO!! "the only person that was still a fan of the Amiga" ??!:laughing:
Umm, there are a "few" of us around :roflmao:

it's 1Mb already

I think the OP meant an additional 1MB If you want to play games off floppy disks then youre best looking for an external floppy drive too, otherwise you might get an embarassing wrist pain :laughing:
 
Some games will take advantage of the extra 1MB some wont but its worth getting both expansions, I used to have 2MB and an external floppy on my first A500+ back in the day, it was a god send not having to swap bloody disks all the time...and damn annoying when you found a game that didnt user either the RAM, floppy drive or both! :furious:
 
If you dont want to hunt on eBay, Amigakit also sell A600 1MB upgrades:

Kit came yesterday and I spent several hours last night trying to use it but I seem to have a problem that might be hardware based, everything loads and works great until it comes to write the floppy, the floppy spins up but the head does not move, and thats how it sits until I turn if off. The floppy drive formats and copies discs via the workbench fine but just will not write a disc with easy adf package ....... could it be a bad drive in my A600 or the fact that Its a bog standard 1mb A600, I have tried using both DSDD and DSHD discs, nither will write ?
 
Any clues ? :confused:
 
Thanks in advance

Hi Scott
 
I dont think its the fact you have 1MB, but I could be wrong as I used mine on an A1200 which comes with 2MB as standard. If your Amiga can read and write disks via Workbench OK I would think that it isnt a hardware problem.
Are you booting off the EasyADF disk? Or are you booting from Workbench then inserting the EasyADF disk?
If not, it might be worth booting directly from the Easy ADF floppy disk and seeing if it works. (you still need to keep your Workbench disk at hand though).
 
Keep the thread updated with how you get on mate
